CONSULTATIONS
Medicare
In order to receive the Medicare rebate, patients must ensure that they have a valid and current referral. It is the patient’s responsibility to obtain an appropriate referral. Most GP referrals are valid for 12 months, and Specialist referrals are valid for 3 months.
We are able to lodge a claim with Medicare on your behalf on the day of your appointment. However, please be aware that it can take up to 48 hours for the Medicare rebate to be paid into your account.
DVA Patients
Veteran Gold card-holders are fully covered for all consultations and procedures. White card-holders are generally covered for consultations, but not necessarily covered for surgical procedures. So you are fully informed, our staff will check whether your coverage is adequate before your procedure.
Bulk Billing
As we are a Private Practice, Bulk Billing is generally not available. If financial issues are a restriction for accessing necessary treatment, please advise your Doctor.
Cancellation Fees
A cancellation fee of $50.00 will be charged if patients do not cancel or reschedule before 48 hours (2 Business days) of the scheduled appointment. Exceptions may apply.
